Racism got him here and he’s clinging to it like his life ring — it’s all he’s ever had, the gateway corruption from which all others flow — and look how far it’s got him and how horribly it’s cost us.

Incidentally, as much as I dislike living under the v0.9.8 beta build for modern democracy, one advantage of midterms is they offer a would-be tyrant the opportunity to spend a couple years cooling his heels, being regularly reminded by Congress he doesn't control as much as he thinks he does.

Ossoff is hitting hard bc we are all furious and he knows it. The corporate press can elevate those loud, minority of voices praising what’s going on as much as they want, but most of us are angry and tired of being forced into living in pain.

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

It's really quite incredible. Trump began with the lie that a massive response was required for tremendous crime, and now agents in disguise are firing at people who have committed no felonies into cars with young children in them. To keep us safe?

(1) Corporate Media tends to report Trump Family corruption story by story, not putting together the incredible size & pervasiveness of their corruption (2) Corruption directly weakens our economy, security, democracy as Trump sells US policy for cash: this is not a victimless crime!

Very VERY glad to see Jon Ossoff leaning all the way the fuck away from the centrists trying to tell dems to "reconcile" or "tone it down" or "find the persuadable republicans." This is the shit, right here. Hammer down and make them have to say on live TV that they love Nazis. The end.

At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.
